An ancient glass art
- • Matteo taught his art in the US and in Australia
- • He started as a game, but soon he felt in love with this art
- • He is already passing on his skills to his children
Always in search of new stimuli and challenges, Matteo Seguso is one of the youngest performers of the traditional handmade glass engraving technique and cold working. His engraved pieces sit in many private collections around the world. In his workshop, inherited from his father Bruno and the partner Paolo, he creates artistic engravings on vases, glasses, mirrors or any glass object; giving rise to a wide range of drawings, sketches and embroidery. Matteo collaborates with several furnaces in Murano, as well as internationally renowned designers and artists. But his spirit remains tied to Venice and Murano where, one day, maybe his children could follow in their father’s footsteps. "They play with the wheel, like I did as a child in the workshop".
